About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
£20 12m = rwgmobile.wales/web…ge/
£35 24m = rwgmobile.wales/web…ge/
They used to have a free 250mb SIM, then it was changed to £5 one-off fee for the same thing but also added £15 for 750mb tier, all of which seem to be no more.
But a yearly cost of £20 for 2GB/month is pretty good for low data users (or £35 if you want to saver a £5 I guess), if they had WIFI calling or eSIM, I'd happily move my number to them.
They run on EE and no, you don't have to be in Wales to use it. Not quite as cheap as Lebara/Lyca 1p deals but they're no more and RWG runs on the EE network and is probably cheaper than going PAYG at this point for most people. It's just annoying that it needs to be renewed every 12 months.

pahuja75Are they legit? Never heard of them. Is it same coverage as EE in UK?
QesharakThey are legit.
My only concern is coverage. I have a £15 lifetime sim with them, but it failed to get a signal on a couple of occasions, and I was only around a mile from a mast. I have a dual sim phone and the other one had a full signal. Probably due to the bandwidth they’re allocated, but not great if you rely on a single sim.
nige182This is a good deal, but a message to the OP, the Lyca deals appear not to have ended. It looks like you can still get 3GB for 1p/month for six months or 4GB for 5p/month for six months. Lebara is 99p/month for 3GB though. (edited)
aidan_brennanOn a side note. They offer a simm that can be used in a tracker for approx 20 pounds for 5 years.
Chris_R23100mb a month..that's errr low
AiadiPlease approach this company and deal with extreme caution. I wish that I have looked at the recent reviews on Trustpilot before taking the plunge and buying from these cowboys. Took 3 days for a number port to complete and left me unreachable on my original number for all that time. Also made the mistake of purchasing one of their data only SIMs which remains inactivated after a week now despite multiple emails, support requests and messaging them on their facebook page. Just try and phone their support line and listen to the message stating that their agents are unavailable all the time and you will know what I am talking about here. I will give them to the beginning of next week to see if they will activate my SIM before reporting the issue to my card issuer and cancelling my accounts.FIREAT40hi just wondering what was the outcome of your SIM issue?
TristanDeCoonhaUnfortunately, despite being on EE, you can't use Airtime Rewards or Weare8 to top up the balancelanceuppercut AuthorThat is true, but taking those things out of the equation, it's around £1.66/month for 2GB data each month. EE would certainly like to fleece you for a lot more for that much data.
And yes I know they don't have access to the same bands as full fat EE does, but they're not called E(xtremely)E(xpensive) for no reason you know..
JunctionRoadI've always been a bit skeptical that MVNOs are given the same priority on networks as the network's own customers. I've tried most of them over the years and, although good for the price paid, they always came up short at certain points. The main pinch point was usually at things like festivals, concerts, matches when the masts would obviously be a lot busier than most normal masts. At this point I don't believe the MVNOs compare to the actual networks.
Best I ever found, based on some information found online, was Sainsbury's mobile, who apparently paid for a block of the network, rather than just puffy backing. I had no way to prove this but it seemed a lot more reliable that others I had used. Not that I'm looking at the moment but I read a similar comment on Reddit this week that 1p mobile have a similar deal with EE, unlike other MVNOs. I'll see if I can locate it at some point.
Anyhow, I'd previously used RWG for my son's phone. No complaints, it worked and for low usage these deals seem a great price.
BigDomI've got a sim from them and it shows me I'm on the NOW network.
Not sure what that means but it's all good on my end.
plunetRWG resell a white box (unbranded) MVNO that goes by the name of NOW who use the EE network. Hence why your SIM says it's on the NOW network
alaredQ what happens if you use up your allowance during the month before it is due to renew?
RWG Mobile
Hi xxxx,
in that case, you will either have to add credit or purchase either a bundle or an add-on for that month.
It's really your choice.
Thank you,
RWG Support Team- FrugalstudentDo you know if it's possible to buy now and activate 3 months from now? I've got 3 months left of my 99p Lebara sim lol
CrossbowFor the most accurate answer, I'd recommend contacting them on 01633 415 333 / support@rwgmobile.wales / use the online form at rwgmobile.wales/sup…er/ 
nigelbutlerMust admit I thought RWG would have ceased operations by now - glad they are still in business
hecataeThey did,

thaigaryThe two years for £35 looks good.- alaredOn the free minutes at the moment with RWG, the only drawback is you can`t see how many minutes or text being used.
With this £20 one year deal will I be able to keep track on my usage.
Q5ON 
innocentThundering backbone for low mobile users paying one off £20 for 12 months usage having adequate mix of minutes, texts and data and you can't go over the monthly allowance if you don't add further credit to your account 🔥 Pay your £20 upfront and think of England 🏴 or shall I say Wales 🏴 (edited)- plewis00Looks good - I guess no credit check? Not bothered so much about the credit but don't really want another hard search for nothing. Should be useful if you want to carry a spare phone when out cycling/running or something as well - I'd like to carry a smaller phone but not have to swap SIMs over.hecataeNo credit check
- thaigaryIf anyone is trying to find out remaining balance You can check remaining balance of bundle by texting info ukrwg12 to 669 if you have 12 month sim or info ukrwg24 to 669 if you have 24 month sim. You will get text back with balanceCrossbowDoes it give remaining texts, mins & data? Thanks
8ndyHas anyone switched from EE to rwg and noticed a difference in signal?thaigarySignal strength is same as my Plusnet (EE) but I have noticed that the download speed is not as high as Plusnet and there both 4g on EE
albertbigndaftI’ve got one of these from this offer, intending to put it in my iPad. I only switch the sim data on now & then (when away for instance).
An email response back from the RWG people confirmed that their sims work in any device and can be tethered from, so spot on for my use.
Saved me buying another 3 12 month sim, which has been my go to for years.
Nee2I was thinking about joining this network but now im very sceptical. I also cant get through to them via their telephone service, however they did respond to my email within 2 days (so not all that bad).
I want to sign up for the 1 or 2 year option, but worried if the reception in my area (London area) is rubbish will I be able to leave and get my money back? They (RWG) suggested buying a SIM only and trying that for a few months first, but that obviously defeats the object of signing up for the cheaper 1 or 2 year contract.
Any suggestions? and do people actually recommend this network?
Thanks in advance for any helpCrossbowIf it makes it easier to decide, you can check coverage here with your postcode - they run off the EE network coverage.ee.co.uk/cov…ayg
mjb1975Oh this is great, thanks. I got the £15 free bundle (750mb) for my daughter's phone, (she doesn't need a lot of data; or unless I thought she didn't until she burned through that in about 2 weeks!).
This is a great upgrade for her. Thanks. (edited)happpychappyShould be able to run the free bundle and this one on top and use both allowances- CanonkidDo the minutes and sms renew everymonth?lanceuppercut AuthorOnly if you pay £20/year.
KIRK_LAZARUSDo they support WIFI CALLING ? tia (edited)
srh007A question I wondered when I joined a few months back. According to their FAQ’s:
“We don't currently support WiFi calling this is coming soon”.
This was the exact same phrasing as when I signed up around 4/5 months back. So it depends what you class as “soon” 🥴!
Hope that may help 🏻
SarahToninIs this any good? By this, I mean is the phone reception reliable and are texts delivered? If so, this sounds great. x
DealDogyup, in my area... it basicallly EE
mans0987Is there any roaming?
usenetzInternational roaming is automatically enabled when you receive your RWG Mobile SIM card with all EU roaming included on the same terms as your UK plan on all plans above £3.50 (not included on FREE, £2 or £3.50 or annual plans). Receiving calls and text is free in EU and other roaming charges are available on the RWG website. (edited)
bogarterDo they have inclusive rwg to rwg minutes does any one know. Can't see anything on there site so probably notbogarterRWG to RWG mins are chargeable or deducted from any active bundle.
Best wishes

Tîm Cymorth RWG Mobile- FIREAT40Have not heard of RWG Mobile. Took the plunge and purchased the 24-month deal for £35 last week. Anyone else having issues with mobile data not available intermittently? I emailed RWG and was told issue with BT. Extremely frustratingFIREAT40Thank you for the above information. We are currently experiencing some network issues which we are working with BT to resolve.
We hope to have these resolved shortly.
Best Wishes,

rwgmobile.wales - Jasvir123Hi,
Does anyone know the contact email for RWG I have tried to contact them three times but they don't reply.
I have had no data for almost a month I brought the two year plan for £35.
I switched from Lebara, I think may have been a big mistake.
Can anyone help? Or give any advice?
ThanksFIREAT40I had data connection issues too when I first signed up the same plan. I manually set up access point as seen and it worked. password is secure.
albroadbentThe RWG website claims this deal expires on Friday 30ᵗʰ June 2023…CrossbowStill a reasonably long way off? As long as you buy before then, it will still be valid for the whole 12 months - even if it overlaps a current deal you're on, you'll struggle to find anything much better value overall.
DarudeI'd like to know what happens after the year or 2 is up?joyf4536Don't worry about that, we'll have all frozen or starved by then.- debschillen0704I got the other deal for £15 a few weeks ago. Can't fault them. SIM came 2 days later, ported number over with no probs. Signal good. Great for second phoneoscar72Can you upgrade to this if you took out the £15 offer? already ported number to rwg so I can't simply get a new SIM.
pablo_el_diabloGood if you drive a lot and want to use your spare phone as a sat nav for traffic updatesTristanDeCoonhaYou could afford to use that phone as a cheap tracker if your car gets stolen. Ping it for coordinates
ReltonianJust bought to keep an old number alive in case anyone from the distant past wants to re-connect or for when there's no signal for my main mobile number. Already have dual SIM phone so cheap insurance.- mb1Heat. I really want them to succeed. MSE should show them in their SIM only deals, as they are awash with Lebara and Lyc(r)a.
gadgetcakeI wonder if this is moneysupermarket ownership monetisation in play? No kickback, no featuring on MSE. - muttywhitedogI recall Mr MSE, Martin Lewis, highlighting one of these a few years back. People piled in, paid their £20, then the company went bust, leaving everyone £20 poorer and with no service.Q5ONRwg been going since 2015, they won't go bust as the provide a specific service to area in Wales
- nigelbutlerDecent - £1.66 a month then - Lebara cheapest is £3.95/£4.95 a month every month for 1gb /5gb
If another very cheap sim pops up though then 25p/50p per month for 6 mths is perhaps better 
CheggersplayspopThey do same deal on min/tx and data for £35 but for 2 years, so works out, at £17.50 year.
maddoglewisGood deal but I think Lebara 3GB 99p a month for 6 months is better
wasntmeAny links to this current offer please?
dam14n1They have a few other good deals as well; Roaming is a clincher
FIREAT40I also want to purchase this package as my main SIM but waiting for them to resolve the mobile data issue which I am having for my secondary SIM.
barylkaqIs it good for gps tracker?hecataeYes, it can be used for that, you can even have text messages when your vehicle is started and moves and regular gps coordinates.
mitchram123thats the kind of sim i want as most people now call me on WhatsApp so no need for big contractsplewis00That will consume your data though if you are away from WiFi.
